prove this by sowing some nitrate of
soda on part of the field. AS soon
as sufficie Mt rain came to dissolve the
nitrate OF soda, the corn put on q
much darker green, but the season
was too far advanced to materially
improve the crop. The experiment
led me to suppose the want OF availa-
bic nitrogen was the cause of failure
The green rye pioughed under, think,
did no good to the corn crop. I
turned under about nine acres of rye
last spring, and [ could not see that
the crops planted received benefit in
any place. / ann by no means certain
that the rye turned under was not an
injury to the first crop. 1t may be
that the rye during it's growth gathered
up much of the nitrogen in the soil,
and was not soon enough decomposed
to yield it's manurial value to the
rgowing crop. II this is the true view
to take, then this seasons crops
ought to receive some benefit from
the green manuring. And.if it is true,
as chemists tell us, that potash and
phosphoric acid do not waste from
the soil, then [ ought to get, next
season, q crop from this field, by the
use of nitrate of soda chiefly, as fer
tilizer. l think my experience the past
season shows the danger of relying
upon partial fertilizers for growing
crops. The use of such fertilizers may
bring one or two crops at q saving OF
expense, but [ think the time would
soon come when the crop would fail
from the deficiency of some needed
element of fertility. 1. think it far
safer, and in the end more economi-
cal, to use ''complete" fertilizers, when
commercial manures are depended on
for growing crops. It is not always
agreeable to make known our mis-
takes, though knowledge of them
may be quite as valuable to others as
a knowledge OF our success. With this
thought | have written these lines, and
I have made some other mistakes,
of which for like reason may speak
at 'me future time.-F. r. in Prach-
cal Farmer.

A Frightful Episode.
From the New York Sun.


''Take it off! take it away! ia ke it
off" screamed a nicely dressed lady
jumping into the aisle of a Fourth
Avenue car, with one hand on the
bell rope and the other outstretched
to one OF the startled male passen-
gers. Her features were B. picture of
terror aud her black eyes cleaned
with frantic intensity at the wrist of
her outstretched arm. At first O. sus-
picion swept through the minds of the
knowing passengers that it was g. case
of snakes, but on looking at the pretty
wrist, set off by jeweled bracelet,
they saw real live leech. A lawyer
who has an Office In the Potter build
ing, and who has some nerve as well
as gallantry, plucked off the leech and
put it in paper box which the lady
had carried In her pocket. Mean
while, the other female passengers did
what they could to soothe the fright
ened sister. Chow many leeches did
you have, madam, in the box ?" asked
the lawyer, s'Three!" she gasped.
"Why, madam, there's only one here
The shrek that followed was q chorus.
Every female passenger thought she
was wearing one or both of tine other
two. But the lawyer found both in
the mating of the car, and one of
them was crippled in the excitement.
The lady jumped off the car spitefully
to conceal her embarrassment. 1t
turned out that she was the pretty
wife OF well-known iron merchant
and member of the seventh regiment,
who was at home with swollen leg.
His wife had been down to get the
leeches to feed on her husbands leg,
but the druggist had cut too big a
breathing hole for them. When the
husband learned of his wife's advsn-
ture, he laughed till the swelling went
down.

How to LndOrse a Check.

Very few otherwise intelligent and
educated people understand how to
properly lndorse a bank check pay
able to their order, and few realize
the inconvenience they cause by plac-
ing their indorsment i'll an awkward
position. An observance OF the
following rules as given by the Com.
mercial News will enable anybody to
place the signature in the proper
place:
1. Write across the back-not
lengthwise.
2. The top of the back is the left
end of the face.
3. To deposit q check, write "For
Deposit" and below this your name.
A clerk not having the power of at
torney to sign or endorse checks can
deposit his firms checks by writing
on top of the back, "For deposit
only to credit o." and below
this write his own name.
4. Simply writing your own name
on the back of the check signifies that
it has passed through your hands
and is payable to bearer.
5. Always indorse O. check just as it
appears on the face. For instance,
if the check is payable to sc. Read"
indorse sc. Read" if to "Geo. Read, %
indorse "Geo. Read" if to George
F. Read" indorse George F. Read. "
If the spelling of the name on the
face of the check is wrong, indorse
first just as the face appears, and be-
low, the proper way.
6. If you wish to make the check
payable to some particular person,
write "pay to - Or order
In England all checks are payable
to bearer, but in this country all
strangers presenting checks for pay
ment must be identified by some one
known to the banks.

Tell Your Wife.
From the Home.


If you are in any trouble or guam
dairy tell your wife, that is, if you
have one, all about it at once. Ten
TO one, her invention will Eolve your
difficulty sooner than all your logic.
The wit of woman has been praised
but her Instincts are quicker and
keener than her reason. Counsel with
your wife, or your mother or sister,
and be assured that light will flash
upon your darkness. Women are too
commonly adjudged as verdant in all
but pure womanish affairs. No phil
osophical student of the sex thus ad-
judges them. Their intuition or in
sight is the more subtle, and If they
cannot see the cat in the meal there is
no cat there. In counseling one to
tell his trouble to his wife we would go
further and advise him to keep none
of his secrets from her. Many home
has been happily saved and many a
fortune retrieved by q mans full con-
fdence in his better half Woman, as
g. rule, is far more seer and q prophet
than man if she be given chance.
AS general rule wives cOnfide the
minutest of their plans and thoughts
to their husbands, having no involve.
ments to screen from him. Why not
reciprocate, if but for the pleasure of
meeting confidence with confidence?
We are certain that no man succeeds
so we'll in the world as he, who, taking
a. partner for life, makes her the part
ner of all his purposes and hopes.
What is wrong in his impulses orjudg-
ment, she will check and set right with
her almost universally right Instincts.
"Help meet" was no insignificant
title, as applied to mans companion.
She IS meet help to him in every dark
ness, difficulty and sorrow of life; and
what she most Graves and desires is
confidence, without which love is never
free from shadow.
